Are the new Huckabein kits good? Saw them in the store and they're the SRW Gundam wannabes right.

Quite good. I've only built the older one of the two, but they're really nice HGs. Pretty big, great color separation, cool equipment. Expensive, but worth the money if you like the design.

If they're 3mm wide, get a 30MM kit with as many accessory ports as possible, stack on accessory packs, and plug all the holes with 3mm rhinestones.

Oooh, my EX Hologram markers arrived! :peanut:

Got the full set of 4 because they're dirt-cheap things, plus a green fluroescent marker just for the heck of it, and I think one of the holo markers should be able reproduce the neat gradient colouring of the Promare MODEROID's boxart on its weapon and flame effects if I do it right :science:. Gonna test on the leftover runners to see how well it takes the paint for starters.

I will admit, I'm a little disappointed my order didn't come with a February issue of their hobby magazine though.

I brought my special coating sazabi out to take photos of it. The wind caught it, and it tipped over. One of the horns broke off. Sazabi was on the top of my car, and the faceplant was at the edge of my cars roof. The rice sized bit of candy coated chrome was just... gone. My buddy was beside himself trying to find it. I have kids, I expect this sort of thing to happen, so I took it a lot better.

I believed the part to be lost. Still, I spent a couple minutes looking for the bit before I left. I drove off from my friends house, and not even 5 minutes later, he calls me. And somehow, in his sparkly white concrete driveway, he found the bit that snapped off. SEVEN FEET from where my car was.

This morning I setup a paper and blue-tac jig so I could align and glue the bit back on. And while it's not perfect, you'd never know from more than 2' away.

edit: CA glue dissolves the candy coat, so.. be careful. It's not FAST ACTING, but it does make some of it .. move.

Are most of the new gundam releases this year going to be Gundam SEED? Or did I misread the schedule? The only non-SEED so far I see is MG Gundam C-Packs Ver. Ka

I hope they do a new PG Unleashed in the next few years, but IDK what they would even do. Hopefully not Unicorn, so Astray? (I'd like to see a PG Barbatos one day, just because its so sick, but maybe give it enough time for someone to give a new spin on the mechanical design)

I dunno what's going on with Bandai, they seem to be chasing new customers and forgetting about the old ones.

Fortunately, the third parties are making tons of cool stuff so the possibility of things like a PG Barbatos or close enough could actually happen in the next few years. There's already an almost PG Talgeese coming in May.

Just look up "marker ex holo" on HLJ and you'll see them. There's not a proper set of them, just meant I got the full individual range of them.

The individual markers are;

Trans Am Holo Red
MEPE Holo Yellow
Psycho Frame Holo
Moonlight Butterfly
Wings of Light Holo

Also now realizing there's 5 of them, and that means I think I missed one :cripes:.

I mean, SEED customers are pretty old. 20 years since the show came out, after all. Has been a while since we got regular large scale kits, though.

(Weird thing? We're getting a bunch of Kyoukai Senki kits from the online series, including the new Australian mech and a war rig. Retail releases, too.)

Not really, most of it's just beating a dead horse out of the "prototype" custom MAiLES and the Brady moulds, the truck is just a modular version of the one they already did with flattened surface to make it easier to stick bits on. I wouldn't be surprised to see a customizable Stork before long, especially with how many Brady variants there are now.

The Bunyip Ginga's the first totally-new mech they've done in the kit line since the show ended, and I'm pretty :nallears: on its design compared to the Boomerang's sleek lines.

Seed makes money. I hate it, but it makes money. Like, last christmas donkey rushed to sell off all of their non-seed gunpla just so they could stock the shelves, all of the shelves, with every seed kit available in preparation for the movie.
